This checklist of new opportunities and challenges might prompt your business to become more alert and active in finding new opportunities.
Mobile Phone Industry.
Remember, a new phone – often a new sim card – requires travel to physical shops. Not anymore – this T-Mobile example — now download and install a SIM card to your iPhone just by installing an app (eSIM), and T-Mobile – is providing a free trial for three months.
Impact – Telstra, Vodafone and Optus – drive people into their physical stores – one of the core reasons to go to a store – get a new sim card – will change their business model. Note that T Mobile is a US supplier – it is only a matter of time before an Australian brand rolls this out.

Electric air taxis will cost about the same as regular taxis – virtually no noise. With a 100k travel radius from their base – some will be virtual ( no human flying them). Has your business considered how to capture value?
